"In just the last three days, Operation Cross Country broke up prostitution rings in 57 cities, including arrests in Toledo and Perrysburg Township. Officials say truck stops, casinos and the internet are hubs for this type of criminal activity.

Kevin Perkins acting Executive Assistant Director of the FBI said, "Over the past 72 hours the FBI and its state and local law enforcement partners conducted 104 arrests and rescued 79 children who were being held against their will and conducting child prostitution.""Keep up the good work...Kudos to all of the officers involved for making such a positive difference in the lives of so many children.

They don't even tell how many from where... you could search the local bookings for Lucas County - as those post pictures and the crimes if it was in Lucas County. They post a PDF file - not sure if daily or weekly.

But we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. Nancy Pelosi

Thank you Professor H,I just don't get it. Why is it that our society seems to protect these nasty, worthless pieces of (insert expletive). Why can't we place more importance on the children in this country than on our family members with fur, feathers or fins?I get it that animal rights are very important and animal cruelty is serious too but come on.

Fluffy Bunnies I appreciate you offering that speculation. You may be right for sure on why they don't for some of them. Many states do list in DruSjodin if sexual crime was incest which would implicate some member of the family as being the victim.

Parents when you talk to your children about "stranger danger" please include a conversation on how these scumbags can manipulate them by offering them something the parents won't allow them to have-like electronics, cell phones, laptops etc. threatening to harm the other family members if they don't cooperate...it has escalated far beyond "help me find my puppy".

And to the youth that may be reading this, if it sounds too good to be true it usually has strings attached. Your parents are doing their job by having rules for you to follow etc. it is their resposibility to make sure you grow up to be a productive member of society. Under most circumstances whether you believe it or not, ultimately they have your best interest at heart, you are part of them. If someone tells you they are going to harm your family if you don't cooperate...tell someone -your parents will have your back and their own, these are scare tactics. Do not be afraid that your family will think less of you-they love you unconditionally and will offer support and just be thankful you are safe.
